on Nine Pound Steel [Clean]

Joe Simon's "Nine Pound Steel" is a soulful and emotional ballad about the pains of being incarcerated. Throughout the song, Simon sings about his experiences in prison and the mistakes he made that led to his imprisonment. The lyrics act as an apology and a plea for forgiveness to his loved ones, primarily his significant other who he calls "honey" and "darling."

The opening lines signify the physical and metaphorical barriers that separate Simon from his family and the outside world. As he looks through the walls of his cell, he sees the sun, representing freedom and hope. He acknowledges that he is in jail because of the wrong he has done and apologizes for his actions. He expresses regret for stealing from his significant other and not standing up like a man. He then repeats the phrase, "I've got to say good morning to a nine pound steel," which undoubtedly refers to the steel bars of his cell. The steel acts as a constant reminder of his mistakes and how he must confront them every day.

The song's chorus repeats, "Good morning to that old nine pound steel." Simon is essentially saying that he is forced to greet his prison cell every day, but he still has hope to eventually be released. He states that he is working like a slave, paying for his mistake and knows that someday he will be a free man. He pleads with his significant other, asking her to wait for him until he is released from prison. He acknowledges that the jail is cold, and he needs her love more and more every day.

Overall, "Nine Pound Steel" is a poignant and heartfelt song that showcases the pain and hardships of imprisoned life. Its lyrics express regret, apologies, hope, and the desire for love and freedom.
